The owner of the Ringling Bar, located south of White Sulphur Springs, is standing behind his Facebook post that criticizes NFL players who take a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality. The post was made on the Ringling Bar’s Facebook page Tuesday night and has since received hundreds of comments and shares. The post reads: “The Ringling Bar will no longer show any NFL games. This will allow us to air the PBR, Rodeo and NASCAR events whose competitors are true Americans! Sorry for any inconvenience.”

Ringling Bar Co-owner Kurt Bekemans, who grew up in the Paradise Valley, published the post and said he doesn’t care if the post turns some customers away.

“Seriously, I would not care if non-Americans didn’t patronize the place,” said Bekemans. “I’d like to speak for rural America: I bet you wouldn’t see any farmers or ranchers in our whole country take a knee such as these guys do, I bet you couldn’t find one. They appreciate what our great nation has given them and I think that’s the least you could do to give thanks to our country is stand for the flag and the anthem.”

Do you think Democrats will push out Representative Ilhan Omar over her anti-Semitism?*

Yes, they're supposedly the party against hate, so they have to.

No, intersectional politics rule the Democrat party, so Omar wins.

I don't really care what they do. The Democrat party is all bad anyway.
